Intex Seahawk Inflatable Boat Series

1. It's heavy at in excess of 15kg un-inflated, no carry bag, so think how close you can get it to the water.2. The included pump is good and easily inflated the boat in under 15 mins, but I'd look to find a taller one to avoid being bent double.3. Decent aluminium oars/paddles with a retaining ring for use in rowlocks so you don't lose them overboard.4. Very stable on the water ( canal in my case) and makes a great work platform around my canal boat.5. For the price, I'd say this is a reasonably rugged dinghy with plenty of space and a good payload.I'd say great product and great value for money

Purchased the seahawk 3 for use on a nearby lake. She's a heavy girl, much bigger than the pics suggest. Sturdy and buoyant.Had a great time rowing round the lake then I stepped in lake cum. Was all between my toes but the seahawk never let me down.Was fairly quick to pump up and let the air out. Oars felt pretty sturdy too, might purchase some better ones at a later date. Only comes with one set of oars also so maybe worth grabbing another pair so multiple people can row.

Wow, I'm so impressed with this dinghy. For £90 I really wasn't expecting much but it's superb. Very very sturdy, oars better than expected, surprisingly quick to inflate and deflate (pump included). Inflated it at the beach in 10 minutes. That surprised me because when I got it out of the box it was BIG. Clever valves mean the pump attaches quickly and easily.Be warned, it is heavy. I had to carry it for 20 minutes from the car park to the beach and it was hard going. Best bet is to roll it up and carry it over the shoulder or buy an appropriately sized bag so that two people can take the strain.Kids absolutely loved it. Played in the sea with it for hours. We're a family of four and we easily all fit in. We had several people asking where we got it and could they have a go!You can buy a motor for around £150 and attach it to the back (there's a special place where it can go). That's our next step.Seriously for the money you cannot go wrong. Similar dinghies in stores are going for £300 or more.

I liked this floaty boat, comfortable to seat on. Easy to inflate and deflate. Strong outer material can withstand strong water waves.However the the boat oars, were bit too fragile and weak. Hard to row with it. Also hard to clean from sand if any gets inside.

We had so much fun in this on holiday and for the money the quality exceeded my expectations, very quick and easy to inflate and deflate, felt safe in it and sturdy, only problem was the queue of kids that formed to ‘have a go’ 😂 . Very happy and would definitely recommend.

Bought as a kids’ plaything for messing about in a pool over the summer and as such I’m marking it against those expectations. This dinghy far surpasses what you need for that sort of thing!The material is noticeably thicker and tougher than other dinghies we’ve had so that inspires confidence. The valves are great on the main chambers, allowing easy inflation and deflation. There are oar holders, rod holders and parts to allow an outboard motor to be fitted. The pump is adequate for the boat but I wouldn’t want to pump up anything bigger with it. The oars are fine, they are neither flimsy not overly rigid - not sure I’d want to rely on them if I were using the boat more seriously though.Size - this is a decent sized dingy that would probably cope ok with two adults using it more seriously and was more than big enough for two older kids. The dimensions are on the listing but it still seemed larger than I’d expected...luckily the pool we had use of was also a lot bigger that we were expecting too!Overall, we are very happy with the dinghy and it will get more use than what it was bought for, we’ll probably use it with confidence in lakes and calm rivers and bays.

It’s larger than you think. Great for the family

My friends and I bought this boat for some tomfoolery on the river Cam in Cambridge. Being a very placid river, not surprisingly the dinghy has stood up very well to our adventures. We've been out in it about half a dozen times now and our trusty vessel has survived collisions with punts, being capsized and all the other ravages that its intoxicated passangers could throw at it. The boat is well built and extremely sturdy, and even though advertized as a 2-man dinghy we've managed to get 3 in it comfortably, and 4 at a push.The rope rigging that comes with the boat to thread around it is invaluable for speedy disembarkations and transportation accross land. The 'gear pouch' that is also supplied is essentially a dry bag, and it offers some protection for phones/wallets etc. However it doesn't close very well, especially when it's wet, and if the boat capsises its contents quickly fall our. My advice would be to leave mobiles and other valuables ashore.All in all a well built, well priced and trusty vessel!
